New e-book: Lost in the Forest, Erno Paasilinna

In a Finnish province in the second half of the twentieth century, two policemen set out to search for a man lost in the forest. Their routine assignment gradually reveals their habits, way of thinking, and sense of responsibility. Against the calm northern landscape, the story examines bureaucratic inertia, everyday absurdity, and the tendency to replace action with prolonged reflection when professional duty conflicts with personal comfort.
